Sunglasses should do more than just look good ☀️🕶️
Good quality sunglasses help protect your eyes from UV exposure while also making bright days more comfortable, reducing glare and helping many people see more clearly outdoors.
We are seeing more patients choosing prescription sunglasses too, especially for driving, holidays, walking the dog and spending more time outside during the summer months.
A few things worth looking for when choosing sunglasses:
• Full UV protection (look out for the CE Mark)
• A comfortable fit with good coverage (bigger is better!)
• Polarised lenses to reduce glare
• Lenses suited to your lifestyle and prescription (check out our sports frames)
And don’t forget, children’s eyes need protection from the sun too. Their pupils actually let in more light so wearing sunglasses and a hat is incredibly important for younger ones.
We have a wide range of sunglasses in practice, including prescription options, and our team are always happy to help you find something that suits both your vision and your lifestyle.
